The one-off drama, intended as a backdoor pilot for a possible series, was originally written as a two-part series but was re-written several times at the request of BBC executives. The original running time of 120 minutes was also shortened to 90, and the programme was finally broadcast in one instalment in May 2008.[1] The drama was produced by BBC Northern Ireland and shot in Bristol.[2] A DVD was released in Sweden in 2010, but as of 2016[update], has not been released in the UK.[3] Viewing figures of 3.9 million did not prove strong enough for a full series to be commissioned.
